This group has transcribed and searchable copies of the birth, burrials and marriage registers for Grindon Parish both pre and post 1812 available. Th group is always glad to help out genealogists.

Thanks

Hi

I'm a member of Thorpe Thewles History Group and can confirm that Thorpe Thewles near Stockton-on-Tees was officially known and recorded up to around 1900 as Thorp Thewles or just Thorp.

I have searched our records and have found Pinkney's in Grindon Parish Baptism records and in a couple of census returns. The village also has a strong connection with Brancepeth via the Boyne Family who where a major land holder in the village.

Why not post your request on our history group's web site Forum and I'll ensure we will get back to you with all the information we have in our records.

Mark
